Kaiser’s Throne is a legendary observation point perched on the summit of Pelekas village, offering one of the most complete and breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Corfu. It was the favourite viewpoint of German Emperor (Kaiser) Wilhelm II, who used it for contemplation during his stays at the Achilleion Palace. From this single vantage point, you can see the east and west coasts simultaneously, the green inland Ropa Valley, and the distant mountains of Albania and mainland Greece. It is, without a doubt, the most famous and spectacular place on the island to watch the sunset.
